We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Grazzano Visconti in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
